Lucy Shelton (Sopran) - Karen Bentley Pollick (Violine) - Timothy Hoft (Piano) // Born in Ukraine, Baley came to the USA as a refugee in 1949. He has long been fascinated by the poetry of Emily Dickinson, as can be heard in the two moving works recorded here - one an orchestral song-cycle setting her texts, the other a suite for violin and piano inspired by those settings. They display an acute ear for orchestral colour, a fondness for dramatic gesture and a strong sense of lyricism.
